VN Ren'Py Aperture [Ch.2] [Vonsatia]

[Ion.TemUS]

Do you mean the second Chapter alone? If I'm not mistaken, it was around 4 months actually. Also, the circumstances were quite different, too.

yea Von changed the artstyle from the ground up.

I would guess that if they are 50% done with the outline it needs another month for the 100%
script is 20%, so I assume maybe 8 weeks.
not sure how much coding the project needs tbh.
Art probably needs a fair bit of time for prompting.
and then we got proofreading, 2 weeks maybe.


anything between 2 months and 4 months is realistic.
I hope it's not 4, despite Ch. 2 being quite extensive it would be a shame if the earliest we got the new chapter would be April.
And if that is the case I would also be wondering about how long the project would need in general. I mean ofc producing a game takes a while, especially if you want to do it to people's (and your own) satisfaction, but I would really love to have a bi-monthly or quarterly release schedule. That would give the project some consistency of progress. Enough to provide a good amount of content, enough to deliver quality. Enough so people don't loose interest.

Ik some people might say that people who loose interest are idiots, but life tends to get busy and a lot can happen in 4 months. I think it's worth thinking about not just the ride-or-die people who were here at day 1 and supported, but also the people just stumbling upon this or checking in once in a while and think about how to keep them coming back.

The music selection of this game is fantastic by the dev. What's the name of the Jap song that plays when chapter 2 ends?

I don't know that specific song, but it's an AI generated japanese city pop song, like this one:

I was personally very surprised at first to learn it's AI generated, but yeah, it's a recent trend. It gets tiring very quickly though.

Wow. Thanks for letting me know. AI is starting to become so advanced that apparently I can't tell anymore the difference between an actual song an AI generated one.

Bro I'm just hoping that you won't turn this into nts/cuck thing like mc knows but he's not doing anything.. that just sucks..mc should be unaware until the very end

Lets just hope that it's not getting abandoned, for now...

the latest progress update is 4 December 2025, we are good

Yes we are because you are seeing the popular post. Atleast go to the post page and remove any filter. The last update was 23rd for the game and 25th for Christmas art.

 

[Zeref@123#]

Let me give you an honest progress so far. Best bet it will go till March.

Also I have shared the latest progress.

If I'm not mistaken, Keita remaining unaware is exactly the plan:

There will be plenty of scenes where you will get OBVIOUS hints as to what’s going on with Rin (and other characters) through looking into peepholes, social media, adult websites and blog posts, phone calling, messaging and subliminal hints in the dialogue. Keita will mostly be oblivious to Rin’s predicament.

Agreed. For me personally, until the very end would be amazing.
But Im happy if at least a majority of the story will have the MC being mostly oblivious with just a bit of suspicion.
I think its okay if MC discovers certain parts of it, but it should never be a full reveal till the end, and I think discovering it or not should definitely be a part of the player's decision.

Yea dev has actually been writing on discord up until christmas iirc.

The hottest way to do this imo is if MC is witness to the acts (indirectly through said peepholes, social media, adult websites, blog posts, etc.) but thinks its just some random girl. As for phone calls and messaging and subliminal hints in the dialogue, that one will obviously have to be more subtle since its coming from Rin directly.

Yup he should only think "it's just random girl" that's hot..and tbh people who like NTS thinks that people who like NTR (like you and me and the majority ) plays as the mc.. that's just fkin nonsense

Many games apparently solve it by making the MC unbelievably gullible and naive, so a lot probably depends on how exactly it's executed, too?

We don't?

You play as the mc?? Not the one cucking the husband?? No offense just curious

That's what netori games are for, isn't it?

Never tried and I did search for netori games but there weren't much tbh and NTR has been the hot topic for developers for quite some time now and it works for me

I honestly never insert myself as a character. I don't see the point in that. I am just the hovering ghost enjoying watching the shit hitting the fan xD

Perhaps, it's not as much about insertion as it is about attachment to the characters?

For example, when we watch the Red Wedding in Game of Thrones, we don't insert ourselves as the Starks, yet feel all the weight of that incredibly tragic scene, don't we?

We miss you in discord bro! Hope you comeback someday.
